Although he's still being coy about it, the news yesterday was that Biden will be jumping into the race soon. From what I see of the democratic candidates I think he's the only one that can beat Trump and unless some things change before the election I think he probably WILL beat Trump. On a positi...

I don't think it's quite so clear that what the parents did was illegal. That's interesting. So cheating on an SAT isn't technically illegal, you are probably right, but good luck ever getting into any school anywhere ever again with that on your record. I feel sort of sorry for the kids who maybe ...

If I'm reading the chart below right, Boeing isn't the only company with a big dip in share price. Southwest is the airlines I fly on the most by far and I think every plane I've ever flown on with them has been a 737. Apparently it's not all 737's but enough of them to cause this. http://i67.tinypi...

With so much trading being done by computers nowadays maybe we never will understand these kinds of things. Obviously something said "sell" and then something else said "buy" and computers don't stop and think about it like humans.

If you're self-paying I assume you're talking about routine office visits and labs - but realize you're still paying for the insurance-imposed bureaucratic structure that surrounds these visits nows. Definitely agree that putting these outside the purview of insurance would reduce their costs and e...

Well, here it is again: Transmissible illnesses are being reported as epidemic within the detained U.S. illegal immigrant population. ... So long as this government is knowingly inviting these epidemics into the country, can you blame any parent who bridles against being asked to bear the risk--eit...

This may be a combination of you-find-what-you’re-looking-for and/or fake news but I found this video more than a bit disturbing. I’d love better minds than mine give me their opinion. Thanks! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1h5iv6sECGU&app=desktop My first take is that it isn't as sinister as ...

As it is, congress barely gets anything done, and the time wasted on impeachment posturing compounds this. Perhaps it is time to redefine impeachable behavior so every freaking president isn't roasted by the opposing party? ^ This. It really is ridiculous, especially as all these guys could be stru...

You're referring to Rashida Tlaib. According to the WSJ, she plans to introduce a resolution to do just that. Other Democrats are trying to rein her in, to give Mueller a chance to finish up. Tlaib wants to do it this month. We live in interesting times. Do we? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efforts...

I don't know about anybody else but I'm finding it very entertaining watching Nancy Pelosi and other Democratic leaders being forced to deal with the new upstart female congresswomen - specifically AOC, Omar, and that other Muslim woman who said "impeach the mf'er" on the day she was swor...

Bringing out David Duke is like bringing out Hitler. I know next to nothing about the guy, but I suspect that his biggest crime is that he likes white culture. If somebody likes black culture or Somali culture or Mexican culture or any other culture, it's AOK. But as soon as somebody likes white cu...

He also liked Trump and Trump was roundly condemned for it. Somehow I don't think the same thing will happen with Omar.

Listening to the people on TV coming to the defense of Omar for her remarks about Israel I am somewhat sympathetic to the idea that criticizing the nation of Israel and questioning its influence on U.S. policy is not the same thing as antisemitism. The only problem is, the criticism might go over m...

Medicare for all seriously needs to happen.... Be careful what you wish for. You should talk to some Canadians before thinking that this is a good idea. Loooong waits to see specialists and have surgery are the norm there. Long waits to see medical folks here in the US as well. I have a lot of Cana...

One big thing for me with your "Medicare for all" plan, WiseOne, is whether or not people can use some of that money to go find and pay for their own care. From what I've seen, the bill bans private plans that duplicate Medicare's coverage. I think somebody needs to define "Medicare ...

That was a great article! It was really thought provoking when he pointed out that nobody had ever overdosed from those morphine things they give you in the hospital after surgery where you can give yourself as much as you want. If I understood him correctly, the OD's are mostly the result of peopl...

An excellent article by an MD who seems to really understand what's behind the opioid OD crisis. Hint - it's not over-prescription by MD's or pharmaceutical companies turning into drug pushers.

Budd, would you please apologize to anyone you may have called a coward, and withdraw your accusation of having been "fleeced" by members of this forum? I think he adequately explained what he meant by a "coward's portfolio" so no offense taken there. The claim of being "fl...

Give me liberty or give me death.

I take it you didn’t look it up. Coward’s Portfolio - William Bernstein? Heard of him? Yes, I've heard of him. I believe he wrote a preface and/or review of the most recent book on the Permanent Portfolio. Without looking it up I think he said it was a fine portfolio but the only thing he questione...
